Other project idea...

Huh. So after posting comments to other people's blogs, I think I was supposed to talk about the technology integration project rather than the digital citizenship one. Well, I have a couple ideas for that. The idea I would LOVE to do (but am not sure I can do, copyright-wise) is have the students get in groups of 3-4 and make a music video for a particular chapter of their textbook. The textbook comes with some neat hip hop songs (accessible and downloadable online) and I thought it would be fun to have the kids use Movie Maker or iMovie to make videos with pictures and/or videos to explain/present the vocabulary in the song. I would like them also to put the lyrics at the bottom of the screen, karaoke style. Ideally, I'd have them present them to each other in class and put them on youtube, but I doubt I could do the youtube thing because of copyright.
If that idea does not work out, I would expand a project I did last year with my Spanish 1 class and have a "fall semester comprehensive project" in which they tell me about their likes/dislikes, foods they like/dislike, their personality, their school info, and other stuff they learned from this semester in a movie or narrated powerpoint. Last year I did this project, but did not require it to be very rich in technology use. This year I would require it to be either narrated powerpoint, a movie, or a project in Photostory.
